Blur performed at the Live Music Hall in Cologne on 16 June 1993. The concert was recorded for the German program Rocklife as part of Rockpalast. Blur performed various songs from its early catalog during the concert. The band performed Parklife more than a year before the song was released as a single.

Chemical World ended early after Graham Coxon collided with his guitar. Damon Albarn was talkative throughout the performance and advertised Fred Perry and beer from the stage. During Advert, Albarn counted down the numbers in German. The concert was broadcast live by WDR and was rebroadcast in high definition on 24 August 2013.

The concert’s track list included Intermission, Popscene, Come Together and Colin Zeal. It also included She’s So High, Sunday Sunday, Oily Water and Commercial Break. There’s No Other Way, Parklife, Chemical World (unfinished) and Coping were also on the track list. The track list was completed with For Tomorrow and Advert.
